What Now America is dedicated to starting a program which will be working with inner city youth to provide support in vast daily life activities such as school work, obtaining a driver's license or extending a helping hand with other personal needs.
As we are launching our new non-profit organization with our first public Back to School Kick Off event, we are in need of volunteers who would like to help in making this function a successful one. This is an excellent opportunity for those who enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds to provide a safe and comfortable environment for all to be welcomed.
The purpose of this event is to go into the West Oakland neighborhood and really get a feel for the community. In addition to helping kids/youth prepare for the new school year, we will try to capture as much information from the youth as possible about what they lack during the school year which will help better guide our organization to suiting their specific needs.
Activities: Water balloon toss, 4 square, draw yourself in 10 years, Double Dutch (jump rope), Fire truck, Face painting, Relay, Treasure hunt, Education: Math facts, Reading circle, Hangman Study Techniques, Charades, Dental Hygiene, Burn prevention safety kits presentation
All are welcomed to help make our event a success! As long as you are eager and willing to help a large number of people (all ages), lead activities, compromise and be creative, you are invited to come join us and have fun! If you have certain activities that you would like to run or have ideas please feel free to share them with us as well.
